#ForzaMonthly livestreams [next: February 4]

Forza Monthly streams provide an advance look at ready-to-release content as well as some early looks at features in-the-works, direct from the game developers.
Look for these typically on the first Monday of the month at 1pm Pacific.

July 10 3pm Pacific, 6pm Eastern, 11pm London on Forza Motorsport is on Facebook Gaming

News:

  • twice as many tire compounds as in FH3
  • rebalanced PI especially at the low end, but the same Classes
  • VIPs get to own “a really nice house for free” at the start
  • everything you could do at a Festival Site in FH3 you can do at a property
  • revamped suspension system (due to hills and bumps), a lot more progressive damping model, with much more difference between an offroad vehicle and a road vehicle
  • drift suspension upgrade part next to the other options, 20% more (50+ degrees) steering angle, increased rate from full lock to lock, lower ride height and stance, the physics behind the scenes is what you see on screen
  • we’re continuing to add more body kits etc
  • lots of cars and parts have been added (responding to the question about hot rod kits)
  • Demo? stay tuned (“we do demos”)
  • PG has added a drag tire compound to FH for the first time. Tinkering with the drag suspension, “certainly something that could be applied to muscle cars” something the team is looking at and working on.
  • PG observed how people played FH3 and designed the world to respond to popularity of drifting and drag online
  • Fat trees won’t break, skinny trees will, and you will be able to spot the difference
  • “Major change to Horizon’s FFB system” (some jargon I couldn’t catch)
  • Justin Pawlak Mustang, Josh Robinson’s Maloo Ute revealed to be in the Formula Drift Car Pack

FH4 will be on the Tuesday July 10th #InsideXbox livestream followed by a special Playground Games stream

any where we could re watch the stream? or

VOD:

Really hope R32, R33, R34 GTR’s get some love with those drag tyre’s and suspension.

I must say I don’t understand how the world can be designed around a form of racing that consists on straights… lol

Drift focus should give us more technical tracks, and that’s good. But I hope the metagame is not biased towards any type of vehicle. Thankfully, the upgraded blueprint feature will let us design completely custom tracks, so it won’t really make much of a difference if the standard tracks are biased towards grip cars for example.

And I hope all cars that start on S2 class can hit the top now! It was really annoying to buy a Huayra or a Zenvo ST1 only to find out they topped at around 975-980 or so.

Let me guess, you were one of the people that got mad about it not being in Japan?

Yeah, well here is a news flash:

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT LIKE DRAG RACING, BUT NOT DRIFTING

Pretty sure he was just expressing amusement at the absurd idea of an open world racing game designed entirely around straights. It’s a ridiculous notion whether you like drag racing or not.

Hi regarding monthly stream that will be 6AM TUESDAY australian EST.

Yes, that would be 6 AM Tuesday… I don’t live in Australia but since it will be 10 PM Monday Central Europe than it would be Tuesday already in Eastern Australia.

Monday August 6 at 1pm Pacific (9pm London)

It irritates me how people including Turn 10 are calling Josh Ribinson’s ute a Maloo, when it’s actually a VF Commodore Ute.

Even his own website says its a Maloo.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in yesterday, by the way! Was a blast to be part of the show to help debut the Halo Showcase event, especially as a longtime Forza fan myself. <3
